Einkorn oatmeal cookies are chewy, buttery cookies made with old fashioned oats and einkorn flour. This cookie base is perfect for adding your favorite mix-ins like raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips.
In a large bowl, add butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat until fluffy, about a minute. Add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy, about a minute.
In a separate bowl, sift together the einkorn flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined.
Add oats and stir until just combined. Dough will feel sticky.
Cover bowl or wrap dough in wax paper. Chill for 30 minutes (up to 24 hours) in the refrigerator. Refrigerating helps the flavors meld and also creates a firmer, less sticky dough that spreads less in the oven.
Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Remove dough from refrigerator and scoop dough using a 1.5 tablespoon (medium) scoop or shape by hand into 1.5 inch balls.
Place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart onto a prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until lightly browned around edges and across the tops. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Mix-in variations: Substitute some or all of the raisins with chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts.
Cookie storage: Cookies will keep for 5-7 days in a sealed container. To help keep cookies fresh, place a slice of bread in the container with the cookies. Replace the bread slice as needed.
Freezing: Cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw on the countertop for 1 hour to bring to room temperature.
